A cluttery crossover
switch at the intersection of Shangai at Shaanxi Road N. and Xinzha
Road, called a "booby trap" by Zachary--the booby trap
is a missing piece of overhead. Fortunately the west bound wires
(from left to right) on Xin'zha Road where the trap sits is neither
for revenue operation use, nor for garage access any more, they
are largely abandoned, the southbound wires (from left to right)
that intersect them are for southbound route 24 use. Photo by
Zachary Jiang. FE 2002.
